Medical Experiments Through Forced Inoculations

In an experiment to find out of they could give high-potency
Edmonston Zagreb (EZ) measles vaccine to babies as young as four
months old in order to overwhelm their natural maternal antibodies
and replace them with vaccine-induced antibodies, medical "researchers"
at the CDC and Johns Hopkins University injected thousands of
babies in the Third World with the experimental vaccine that reportedly
caused chronic immune suppression and the deaths of an unknown
number of babies. Also, in the United States, with the help of
Kaiser Permanente, more than 1500 six-month-old black and Hispanic
babies in inner city Los Angeles were "enrolled" in
the experiment starting in June 1990. The study was halted in
October 1991, after more than one year of genocidal activity,
after repeated reports from vaccine trial sites in Africa that
girl babies were dying in higher than expected numbers six months
to three years after injection.

CDC director David Satcher admitted in a June 17 LA Times
article that a National Institutes of Health (NIH) investigation
of the 1990-1991 Los Angeles study found that informed consent
regulations had been violated because parents were not told their
babies would be injected with an experimental vaccine that had
never been licensed by the FDA for use in America. Both Kaiser
and the CDC have denied that any of the LA babies were harmed
by the high potency EZ vaccine, but did admit that one child died
from a bacterial infection they maintain is unrelated to the vaccine.

The high-potency EZ measles experiment began at four major
sites in the mid-1980's, including Haiti, Senegal, Guinea Bissau
and Mexico. Other trials followed in Cameroon, Gambia, Bangladesh,
Togo, Iran, New Guinea, Peru, Rwanda, Sudan, South Africa, Egypt,
Philippines, Uzbekistan, Thailand, Zaire and Los Angeles.

Primary funding came from the U.S. Agency for International
Development and the World Health Organization (WHO). In Haiti,
infants were given the experimental vaccine at 10 to 500 times
the usual dose levels. In a June 1996 article in the Journal
of Infectious Diseases, Johns Hopkins "researchers"
report that infants with the highest antibody to high titer measles
vaccine have the most profound immune suppression.

Some of the Infants in both Haiti and Zaire were HIV positive
and already enrolled in a long-term HIV study program. They were
deliberately included as part of the EZ experiment in order to
evaluate the effect of vaccines in HIV-positive infants. When
study results were published in late 1993, deaths occurring in
the HIV positive babies were left out of the mortality figures.
It is unknown exactly how many of the vaccinated HIV babies died,
although at least 100 of the Haitian HIV-positive babies were
reported dead.

The measles vaccine experiment was stopped two years after
the director of one of the African sites warned the WHO and the
CDC experiment leaders in April 1990 that African mortality data
raised a red flag about the high titer EZ vaccine. His reports
were first ignored and then discounted, and he was replaced as
a principle investigator. After his mortality data was dismissed
as incorrect for more than a year, with support from colleagues
at Harvard, he published the mortality data in the British Medical
Journal Lancet in October 1991. WHO, faced with the embarrassment
of discovery, then called for all the sites to submit mortality
data for independent analysis. The CDC has stated that enrollment
for the LA Study was halted in October 1991.

In the LA Times article, the CDC's chief Satcher referred
to the failure to tell parents in Los Angeles that the SmithKline
EZ measles vaccine was experimental as a "little mistake"
and not a deliberate attempt to deceive them. Kaiser Permanente
maintains that the failure to inform parents was an "administrative
oversight." However, the CDC grant announcements in 1989
clearly stated that "the vaccine trials are experimental,
developmental test and research work."

Since the early 1980's, WHO, CDC and Johns Hopkins researchers
had been working on a way to vaccinate babies by six months of
age with measles vaccine. This became even more important in the
late 1980's when measles cases started to increase in the United
States and around the world with cases atypically occurring in
infants under a year in age and in older children. The "one
measles shot will make you immune for life" THEORY that had
prevailed in medical circles was shattered as it became obvious
that antibodies induced by the live virus measles vaccine do not
provide permanent immunity like natural antibodies created after
recovery from the natural disease [necessary for building the
human immune system]. It also became obvious that now babies at
special risk for measles infection were under one year old, born
to young mothers who had been vaccinated and could not transfer
maternal antibodies [wiped out by the vaccine] to protect their
babies in the first vulnerable year of life. During the 1989-1991
measles epidemic, the largest increase in measles cases was in
infants under one year old.

In a 1990 meeting of the National Vaccine Advisory Committee,
there was also discussion that the "unexpected" rise
in measles cases raised the question of whether, during the previous
two decades of mass vaccination, the wild measles virus had evolved
into a more deadly strain. But, in January 1991, the NVAC issued
a White Paper to Congress that blamed the "measles epidemic"
not on the failure of the measles vaccine and the mass campaign,
but "on the failure to deliver vaccine to vulnerable preschool
children on schedule." Shortly afterwards, the CDC and the
American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that "all American
children should get a second dose of measles vaccine at kindergarten
or at junior high school entry."

The biggest "problem" for public health officials
"vaccinating" large populations of very young infants
is that some of the infants have maternal antibodies to protect
them from measles in the very first year of life. These infants
"do not respond" to the vaccine until they are older
when maternal antibody levels have dropped. This is why the measles
vaccine licensed for use in America is recommended to be routinely
given to children at 15 months of age or older "in order
to maximize chances" for a vaccine-induced antibody response.
This is also why EZ vaccine researchers used a high dosage in
the experimental vaccine -- to see how well it will overcome and
overrule maternal antibodies. In an article published in the January
1996 issue of Pediatrics by the CDC, Johns Hopkins and
Kaiser officials, "this will not be a problem in the future"
because "in the future all mothers will have been vaccinated
and won't have maternal antibodies to give to their infants, and
so all babies will be candidates for measles vaccination after
birth." This means that public health officials plan to use
mass vaccination to eliminate natural measles antibodies from
the human race, which are permanent, and replace them with vaccine-induced
antibodies, which are temporary. Repeated doses of the vaccine
will be then given from birth to "try to keep vaccine anti-bodies
high" in everyone.

The National Vaccine Information Center and the Washington
Office on Haiti have issued a joint request under the Freedom
of Information Act for all government data on the EZ measles vaccine
experiments in the U.S. and the Third World. In Los Angeles, the
African-American community has founded a group called Los Angeles
Coalition Against Racist Child Experimentation, and is networking
with NVIC and the Washington Office on Haiti. Said, NVIC co-founder
Barbara Fisher, "The parents were not told that the measles
vaccine can cause brain inflammation and death. It is just another
example of the willingness of vaccine researchers and public health
officials to sacrifice the lives of individuals without their
consent because they have decided that "the end justifies
the means."

Worth Cooley-Post, a biomedical research consultant, added,
"Haiti has been an offshore laboratory for drug research
for decades. What is really frightening about this experiment
is that WHO was ready to buy 250,000,000 doses of EZ for Third
World babies. Millions would have died, but nobody would have
realized that the vaccine was to blame because between six months
to three years would pass before the children would die. The researcher
who found the mortality problem had a very hard time convincing
the other researchers to take it seriously. And, the vaccine was
slated for use on inner city infants in the United States. We
came very close to a huge, hidden disaster."

In a classic example of how a drug company search for a new
market for a new vaccine creates that market with the help of
the CDC, black children in Memphis, Tennessee, "eligible"
for free vaccines under the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program,
are being targeted for mandatory vaccination with the newly licensed
high-potency pediatric hepatitis A vaccine. A group of Memphis
parents, protesting the forced injection of black children without
informed consent, have filed a $500 million lawsuit against vaccine
maker SmithKline Beecham, the county health department and the
school board, citing civil and religious rights violations.

In February 1985, the FDA gave the nod to SmithKline Beecham
to market "Havrix," the first adult and pediatric hepatitis
A vaccine for use in America. Six months after the license was
issued, former U.S. Surgeon General Everett "fluoridate them
till they drool" Koop announced a "public education
campaign on "the risks of hepatitis A" and the need
for Americans who may come in contact with contaminated food and
water to get the vaccine. But, is Hepatitis A a serious condition?
It is a viral disease, which in its natural form infects some
10 million people worldwide, with only about 140,000 cases in
the United States. It causes jaundice, diarrhea, fatigue, appetite
loss and stomach pain, but, with proper medical care., most people
recover quite completely and are left permanently immune to the
virus thereafter.

In January 1996, SmithKline Beecham sent lobbyists to Tennessee
and persuaded [$] state legislators to support introduction of
a bill in the State House that would mandate that children "be
fully vaccinated against hepatitis A" before being allowed
to attend kindergarten, nursery school, daycare or Head Start
in counties with "epidemics" of hepatitis A. In the
bill, an "epidemic" was defined as 50 cases per 100,000
people . At this point, SmithKline Beecham was trying to get another
"license" from the FDA to market high-potency hepatitis
A vaccine for children between two and 18 years old.

On March 9, 1996, the Memphis City School System sent out a
memo to "selected principals" of 14 middle, junior high
and high schools in Shelby County stating that "the County
Health Department has determined that the Hepatitis A epidemic
(which did not exist) has not been stemmed," and that, in
cooperation with the health department, "no student, aged
17 or under, will be allowed to continue enrollment without documentation
of receipt of the Hepatitis A shot. This also applies to graduating
seniors." All but two of the targeted 14 schools contain
a majority of minority students. In the two predominantly white
schools, only those black students bused into those schools were
required to get the vaccines. On April 2, 1996, SmithKline Beecham
announced the FDA had licensed their higher potency pediatric
hepatitis A vaccine.

In mid-April 1996, when school officials decided to enforce
the new "vaccination" requirement, a group of black
students protested, asking why only black children between the
ages of two and 18 were being targeted, and why cafeteria workers
handling food and other adults were not being requested to be
vaccinated. They also protested the fact that the health department
and school officials were picking and choosing which religions
the children could belong to in order to qualify for religious
exemptions to vaccination. The parents reported that no information
was given to the students or parents describing possible adverse
reactions, contraindications or how to report reactions.

When it became obvious that health department and school officials
were not going to allow parents the right to informed consent
to "vaccination" of their children. the protesting parents
filed a $500 million lawsuit against SmithKline Beecham, the health
department and school board on April 29, 1996, and eventually
filed for several temporary restraining orders in federal court
on grounds of civil rights and religious freedom violations. Later,
a federal judge issued several orders stating that all Shelby
County children, not just black children, had to get hepatitis
A vaccine and that parents had the right to be advised of their
right to religious exemption. In mid May 1996, another memo from
the school system went out to principals stating that "high
schools will place a priority on tracking down every single senior
needing the vaccine" and barring students from graduation
or summer school if they have not been vaccinated or obtained
an approved exemption.

Finally, in May 1996, the Governor of Tennessee signed a bill
mandating the vaccine in targeted communities in the state. By
the second week in June 1996, teens were coming forward with reports
of adverse reactions to the injections. Some students reported
that school officials signed their "consent to vaccinate"
forms and some students forged their parents signatures after
feeling pressure from school officials to get injected. On June
22 and 29, 1996, the protesting parents stood outside community
centers where other parents were lining up with their children,
who qualify for VFC to get free HepA "vaccinations,"
and handed out literature about side effects and contraindications,
so that parents would be informed.

The insert states that Havrix "has not been evaluated
for carcinogenic and mutagenic potential, nor has it been evaluated
for impairment of fertility." The insert continues, "It
is also not known whether Havrix can cause fetal harm when administered
to a pregnant woman, or can affect reproductive capacity"
and "At present the duration of protection afforded by Havrix
has not been established."

Vaccine Police Force Mother to Have Child Injected

[From: Leading Edge, May 10, 1996]

According to a recent report from the National Vaccine Information
Center, a single mother living in New Hampshire reported that
a policewoman, a detective and state social service worker showed
up unannounced at her home armed with a court order and forced
her to submit her son to a DPT injection. The forced injection
came after she had taken her son to the emergency room a few days
earlier for a minor burn from a wood stove, and had mentioned
that her son had never received any vaccines. The hospital notified
state health authorities. A nurse at the hospital had insisted
that her son get a tetanus injection and an injection of immune
globulin (even though it was not medically indicated because there
was no puncture). When the group came to the woman's house, a
social worker held down the child while a nurse injected him with
DPT toxoid. For several days after the medical assault on her
child, the child was hyperactive, "acted like a different
child," could not sleep at night, and within a week he had
a fever and was ill. This child had previously been ill twice
in his life.

The woman, Terra Newton, commented, "I feel like I have
been violated and that I am living in a police state. If it is
not my constitutional right to protect my son from this kind of
violence, then you might as well throw the constitution out the
window." She is looking for a lawyer to represent her. "I
want to take this as far as I can legally go. This is America,
not Communist China."

Wisconsin Teen Jailed for Not Getting His "Shot"

In late April 1996, a 16-year-old Milwaukee, Wisconsin boy
was handcuffed, stripped and jailed overnight because he had not
shown public school or county health officials proof that he had
gotten a second MMR [measles-mumps-rubella] shot. The busy mother
of Jacob Kallas, a divorced mother of five who owns her own business
and ignored repeated court orders to provide her son's school
with proof of vaccination, was quoted in an AP story as saying,
"I didn't realize we were in such a police state. We're talking
about a really good kid who's freaking out because he's in jail."
Jacob was reportedly stopped by police while driving his mother's
van, which had expired plates. When a routine police check found
he was wanted on a juvenile warrant [for failure to vaccinate]
issued by Ozaukee County, he was thrown in jail and taken in shackles
to court the next morning before finally being released to his
mother.
